World Wide Knit in Public Day 2015

We had the most wonderful Day last Saturday June 13th for World Wide Knit in Public Day at BookEnds Bookstore in Meiners Oaks, Ojai California. Proud to be one of the almost 900 groups in 56 different countries participating this year. This is our first year in Ojai, but the tenth for WWKIPDay. We had 60 women come together, from 8 years old to 88 years old……sharing, laughing, helping each other, teaching each other……fully embodying the official slogan of

“Better Living Through Stitching Together”

Here we are teaching each other……

Helping……

Sharing……Everybody brought yummy food, desserts and refreshments…..

Raffle Table……

……benefiting “Knitting in Recovery – One Stitch at a Time”

It’s 4pm……and no one wants to leave……people kept coming and coming……

……so we decided to start a Knitting Group here and meet every other Thursday!

Thank You so much to Celeste (right) and Marsha, owners of BookEnds Bookstore, for being such gracious hosts. It was the most perfect spot to have this event……and we are so glad to be a part of your wonderful place!
